Top Dog Dies: Totally Worth the Wait


I have another Top Dog Dies card to share.   Don't you love it when you find a die set that has the absolute perfect image for a card you want to make?  That happened for me today when I brought out my new Top Dog Dies Baby on Board Die Set and saw the cute, trendy mom-to-be image.  My pregnant daughter-in-law is feeling quite miserable these days, I believe she described herself as "a whale" the last time I saw her.  She looks fabulous, but for someone who is used to weighing 100 lbs, I guess I can see why she might feel that way at 107 lbs!  I wanted to make her a card as a little encouragement...just something to remind her that it will all be worth it in just a few short months when her sweet baby boy arrives.  Here is what I made:
I used the stitched circle die from Top Dog Dies Diaper Card Finishers Die Set and cut three circles filled with a heart image from the same set.  I added a die cut button from Top Dog Dies Onesie Card Finishers Die Set to each heart.  I die cut a heart border with a die from Top Dog Dies Baby on Board Die Set  and scattered a few of the left over hearts around as embellishments.  See that heart on the mom's chest...just another little bit of love for her baby to be!  The sentiments are from MFT (Magical Memories).  This card has already been delivered to Katie and rests on her nightstand as a little reminder that all the discomfort she might be feeling will be "Totally Worth the Wait!"

Cathy...this is so stinkin' sweet. I love this die and that you made your card all in blue, so sweet and I am sure your daughter in law will love it.

This is just so incredibly cute. And, that die cut is like my fantasy of how I looked pregnant--slender with just a baby bump. What a great way to encourage your DIL to hang in there.
